The present study focuses on teacher’s attitudes to the European Language Portfolio (ELP) in mother tongue English programs. More specifically it will explore how effective the ELP and portfolio assessment are in mother tongue teaching inSweden. The aim is also to assess whether mother tongue English students perform equally well in the four language skill areas. This case study seeks to find the strengths and weaknesses of the ELP according to the teachers that are using the ELP as an assessment tool, as well as investigating previous evaluation materials used to identify achievement in mother tongue. For this purpose, a case study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with four English mother tongue teachers at theLanguageCenterin Göteborg (henceforth LCG). The teachers interviewed at the language center use the ELP assessment but do not actively use the other parts of the language passport. The LCG materials for the mother tongue ELP were adapted from the original ELP 6 to 16 years created for Österåker municipality by Iakovos Demetriádes in 2007. Mother tongue teachers in Göteborg have since identified a number of the ELP’s strengths, as well as some of its weaknesses. The ELP is compatible with the Swedish syllabus, which makes it easier to write a written assessment for each class from the 1st grade and up. There are however problems with individual teachers interpretation of ELP descriptors. These problems will be brought to light later on in this paper.

This thesis presents an investigation of the contribution school information management systems make to teaching and learning based on qualitative and quantitative research in the Bailiwick of Guernsey in the Channel Islands. addressed the question of whether information systems contribute to teaching and learning and to the mission of the school; to what extent their adoption forms part of an emphasis on performativity and school improvement or on the transformation of the teaching and learning agenda. In the course of the research a further question was posed which sought to identify how practice in this area could be improved to support teaching and learning better. The research built on a critical analytical study which took the form of a Systematic Review of the literature. Initial research drew on data from a sample of Guernsey teachers, an Education Department manager and the Director of the company that produces the Schools Information Management System. This was followed by a collaborative action research project in one school involving the Headteacher, the Senior Leadership Team, other Teachers, Students, Administrative Staff and Parents/Carers. Consistent with this approach the position adopted by the researcher was non-neutral: she does not control environment and knowledge was constructed along with those that participated in the research.

Annotation:

Government policy emphasises the role higher education is expected to play in the era of the "information society" and the benefits the increasing use of new technology in teaching and learning within the university will bring. Accordingly, the purpose of this research was to explore the influence of the WWW in teaching and learning in universities. The study was designed in response to a rejection of technological deterministic approaches and the call for more empirically grounded study of the relationships between society and technology. It examines the use of the WWW in six case study modules in two universities in England from a staff, student and institutional perspective, located within the national context. A case study design, utilising a communications framework, was adopted to guide the research process. The methods utilised were: literature review, analysis of national and university policy documents, semi structured interviews with staff and students, two student questionnaires, focus groups with students and analysis of the case study websites. The cases explored here provide a rather different picture to that painted by the dominant discourses about ICTs and higher education. The use of the web in teaching and learning neither appears to be radically transforming the university, nor to be providing (or even regarded as) a ready solution to the problems the sector currently encounters. Yet, the technology is, in places, adding to the experiences of staff and students in a variety of complex ways. Through exploring practical instances of educational innovation this research has indicated the mesh of interrelating factors that are at work when using the web in teaching and learning, and the importance of considering the full range of experiences of the individuals involved, the variable purposes of using the technology, and the influence of the social contexts that surround initiatives. The benefits of the use of a communications model in further research is highlighted, and the use of mixed model studies promoted to gain greater understanding, aid with generalizability, and provide arguments to counter techno deterministic accounts prevalent in this area.

Annotation:

The primary purpose of this study is to determine how teaching English in European schools can become more effective in order to improve the quality of foreign language education and the quantity of students learning it. Currently, only the minority (38%) of European citizens possesses the ability to speak English, while its importance continues to grow. In addition, it is argued that English can be a very useful instrument in the process of European unification. The current crisis laid bare that there is no underlying emotional bond between people from different member state countries and English has the potential to change that. This research consists of a total of four parts with every part answering a different sub question. In the first part is discussed what the implications of the growing importance of English are on national identities and languages. The second part includes the factors which influence the process of second language acquisition. Subsequently, a case study is conducted which compares the organization of and participation in Dutch, Swedish, Spanish and Bulgarian primary and secondary education and also looks at the teachers and teaching processes. Finally, in the fourth part numbers are presented and analyzed on whether or not EU member state countries are attaining the Barcelona objectives: mother tongue plus two. The main conclusions of all these parts are that a national identity and a possible European identity are able to co-exist instead of replace the other. Similarly, national languages are very robust and will never dissolve into new intermediate idioms. The difference between the percentages of English speakers within Europe cannot merely be explained by education. There are also important linguistic and societal factors influencing second language acquisition. Only a few countries are attaining the Barcelona objectives so far, but there have been reforms in many states which show that they are making an effort. The case study showed that there is still a lot of room for improvement in all four countries when it comes to teaching foreign languages in primary and secondary education. The conclusion lists twelve recommendations on how to do this. For example, it is advised to lower the age of compulsory language learning to the age of 5, to exclusively use the language of instruction in the classroom, to expose students to the target language outside of school and to offer more programs and courses taught in English in universities.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

This thesis investigates how secondary school history teachers at the start of their teaching careers view the nature and purposes of their subject and how they think these views impact on their practice. Data were collected through in depth individual qualitative interviews with eleven teachers completing their initial training. These focused on: how these beginning teachers conceived of the nature of their discipline; the rationale they presented for the purposes of their subject in the school curriculum; the origins of their views on the nature and purposes of history; and how they are manifest in what and how they teach. In order to maintain coherence and to represent the richness and complexity of each teacher's own story these were written, analysed and presented as narrative accounts. A summary is given of each the accounts with three presented in full. The accounts show these beginning history teachers' views on the nature of history as reflecting the dominant discourse that characterises history as an academic subject, being largely Constructionist and emphasising the objective analysis of historical evidence. The teachers' rationales for the purpose of history emphasised broader educational, social and moral purposes. More postmodern perspectives are apparent in the emphasis given to the importance of historical interpretations. Family background, lived experiences, literature and the media are significant influences on the teachers' beliefs about the nature and purposes of history. These beliefs seem to impact on classroom practice and pupil learning in the subject. They influence teaching style, choice of learning activities and the areas of historical understanding emphasised, with, for example, views of the past as an uncontested body of knowledge leading to a pedagogy dominated by the transmission of substantive knowledge; and views which emphasise the more constructed nature of history leading to more pupil centred skills based approaches. Teachers' views on the nature and purpose of the subject are a significant influence on their mediation of the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum for History has increasingly provided opportunities for interpretations more sympathetic to the postmodern orientation but research and inspection evidence suggest that these opportunities are often poorly realised in schools. One reason for this is proposed as history teachers' lack of engagement with postmodern perspectives on history. It is important for teachers to engage with such approaches as without further consideration of their implications history teachers are unable to teach aspects of secondary History. Teachers also need to recognise and make explicit different orientations towards history in order to facilitate pupil learning, to engage pupils and to provide them with the skills necessary to be critical consumers of the range of histories presented to them in society. The research has implications for history teaching, pupil learning and the initial training and professional development of teachers. The case is made for further consideration being given to postmodern perspectives on the nature of history in initial and continuing teacher education in order to improve teaching and learning. The initial teacher education of history teachers needs to ensure that those on programmes have the syntactical knowledge necessary to develop effective teaching strategies and approaches, to enable pupil learning, and to develop their own subject knowledge and ability to reflect on their own practice and development. This research also emphasises the need for all those involved in training to critically engage with subject orientations as where beginning teachers' beliefs conflict with the dominant discourse of history teaching this can lead to problematic experiences of teaching and of teacher training.

Chandler-Grevatt, Andrew J. „The use of levelled assessment tasks and their impact on teaching and learning in science education“. Thesis, University of Sussex, 2010. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/6276/.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

The use of Levelled Assessment Tasks (LATs) in secondary science in England has been increasing over the past five years in response to attempts to encourage more Assessment for Learning (AfL) strategies in the science classroom. This empirical study investigates how LATs are used by teachers and the extent to which such tasks support teaching and learning. An online survey of 106 teachers was used. It showed that teachers did find that the LATs supported their teaching using AfL strategies, but revealed that a majority of teachers do not use the tasks as formatively as they could be used. From the online questionnaire, a descriptive framework for how the LATs support teaching and learning is proposed. Five case studies where teachers used a LAT were observed. The data collected included a post-lesson pupil questionnaire, an interview with a group of pupils and an interview of the teacher. From these cases, a theory seeking approach to educational case studies through fuzzy propositions (Bassey, 1999) was used to develop a model of the relationship between teacher values and pupil values to assessment tasks. The fuzzy generalisations proposed from the case studies were that: (1) Teacher attitudes to the LATs may influence pupil attitudes to the LATs, (2) Teachers with a „big picture of levels‟ may be more likely to use LATs formatively and (3) Teachers who engage pupils with the notion of „levelness‟ may be more likely to improve conceptual development of pupils. The notion of „levelness‟ is explored. This evolves into three issues being explored: whether grades should be shared with pupils, the LATs relationship with summative and formative assessment practices and why such tasks have become popular with science teachers. The latter is considered in the context of the current target-driven culture of schools in England. Finally, the future of assessments like the LATs is discussed in relation to current policy and recommendations for their use and development are considered.

Annotation:

There has been a significant shift in initial teacher training (ITT) and teachers’ professional development (PD) to include masters level (M level) study in recent years in England and this research investigates aspirations for the M level teaching profession, providing a rationale for the M level Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), a masters level profession and the Masters in Teaching and Learning (MTL) and providing the perceptions of key stakeholders. Although these initiatives represented a major shift in the training and development of teachers, only limited consideration has been given to these areas, despite the plethora of research regarding ITT and teachers’ PD. Findings suggest that HEIs superimposed their own rationale for these initiatives, in addition to the imposed rationale. Findings also indicate that universities consider M level ITT and PD to have many benefits, but there was much scepticism regarding the MTL. Furthermore, although trainees and newly qualified teachers (NQTs) were positive about M level study in principle, especially when there was an element of choice, they were sceptical regarding its benefits to practice and considered M level to be more important later in their careers, due to their more immediate concerns to meet statutory professional requirements.

In this study, international recommendations for history education issued by UNESCO and the Council of Europe are compared with the construing of history in national guidelines, teachers’ perceptions and the results of students’ work in history in Sweden. The study shows how history education from the 1960s onwards could be critical and oriented towards minorities in a global world, clearly in line with the recommendations of UNESCO. International understanding, unity in diversity and safeguarding the local heritage in many ways became part of students’ historical consciousness.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

Researchers in the field of global leadership have reported a growing need for leaders able to perform from a global perspective, and the lack of qualified leadership candidates to fulfill these responsibilities. Adult education graduate programs represent a unique pool of aspirants to help fill this gap. In 2008, the Commission of Professors of Adult Education (CPAE) published Standards for Graduate Programs in Adult Education. Two of these standards addressed the incorporation of globalization and leadership studies into the planning, administration, and evaluation of adult education graduate programs. This study sought to explore the connection between the phenomenon of global leadership and the development of competencies, identified by Bird’s (2013) framework of nested global leadership competencies, in seven selected adult education graduate programs in the United States and Western Europe. The questions that guided this qualitative, multiple case study explored (a) which of the competencies were addressed in the selected adult education graduate programs, (b) which ones were perceived to be most and less important, (c) which curricular and co-curricular practices were identified in the development of these competencies, and (d) what were the similarities and differences between the adult education graduate programs located geographically in the United States and those located in Western Europe. Findings indicated all of the global leadership competencies were addressed across all seven cases, to varying levels of extent. The competencies of (a) valuing people, (b) inquisitiveness, (c) leading change, and (d) vision and strategic thinking emerged as most important among the participants across all seven cases, as well as within the two geographical locations. Multiple curricular and co-curricular themes emerged as best practices to facilitate development of the global leadership competencies, although they were primarily associated with good instructional practices discussed within the context of globalizing the curriculum. There was less discussion about the competencies within a unifying construct of leadership development. Similarities across all cases included a focus on student-centered learning, while differences were primarily associated with the independent foci of the adult education graduate programs. Implications of the findings were directed towards the CPAE, university administration, adult education faculty, and adult education graduate students.

Annotation:

Cette étude repose sur une recherche-action-formation incluant l’analyse de récits de vie d’étudiants croates. Elle adopte une perspective microsociologique tout en accordant une importance particulière à la contextualisation et à l’historicisation. Elle articule donc trois niveaux d’analyse : le niveau microsocial se combine avec les dimensions mésosociales (politiques des universités) et macrosociales (situations sociopolitiques des pays de l’UE et politiques européennes). Une étude de cas sur les mobilités étudiantes en provenance de Croatie met tout particulièrement en relation des dimensions linguistiques, des problèmes éducatifs (avec leurs dimensions institutionnelles et pédagogiques) et des questions politiques, dans le but de porter un regard plus général sur les mobilités en Europe. Une ethnographie de l’expérience de mobilité d’étudiants croates – via l’étude de leurs usages et représentations des langues, leur rapport avec l’altérité et les nouvelles identifications qu’ils développent – permet de saisir la manière dont ils vivent cette expérience et la réinvestissent dans leur parcours de vie. Cette ethnographie débouche sur la mise en évidence de la nécessité d’un accompagnement des mobilités, pour faire d’un séjour à l’étranger une expérience formatrice susceptible de développer chez les étudiants un pouvoir d’agir. Une telle orientation didactique, si elle prend place dans le cadre d’une didactique du plurilinguisme et du pluriculturalisme, peine encore à être légitime. Ce constat mène à un questionnement portant à la fois sur la responsabilité des politiques linguistiques et éducatives européennes et sur la responsabilité éthique de la didactique des langues et des cultures
This study is based on research-action-training including the analysis of life stories of Croatian students. It therefore adopts a microsociological perspective while giving particular importance to contextualization and historicalization. It articulates three levels of analysis: the microsocial level combines with the mesosocial (university policies) and macrosocial (socio-political situations in EU countries and European policies) dimensions. This case study on student mobility from Croatia links linguistic dimensions, educational problems (with their institutional and pedagogical dimensions) and political issues, with the aim of providing a more general overview of mobility in Europe. An ethnography of the Croatian student mobility experience will then help to understand how Croatian students live this experience - including through their uses and representations of languages, their relationship to otherness and the new identifications they develop - and reinvest it in their life course. This ethnography also highlights the need for support for mobility, in particular to make a stay abroad a formative experience likely to develop student empowerment. Such a teaching orientation, if it goes in the direction of the teaching of plurilingualism and pluriculturalism, has yet to be legitimate. This finding leads to a questioning of both the responsibility of European linguistic and educational policies and the ethical responsibility of language teaching and cultural education
Ovaj se znanstveni rad temelji na akcijsko-obrazovnom istraživanju koje obuhvaća analizu životnih priča hrvatskih studenata. Rad usvaja mikrosociološku perspektivu, pri čemu je velika važnost dana kontekstualizaciji i historcizaciji. Time je omogućeno dovođenje u vezu mikrosocijalne razine analize s mezosocijalnom (sveučilišne politike) i makrosocijalnom razinom (društveno-politička situacija zemalja Europske unije i europske politike). Radi se o studiji slučaja koja obuhvaća analizu mobilnosti studenata iz Hrvatske supostavljajući jezična i didaktička gledišta, obrazovne probleme (s njihovim institucionalnim i pedagoškim aspektima) i politička pitanja, s ciljem pružanja šireg pogleda na mobilnosti u Europi. Etnografskom analizom iskustva hrvatskih studenata s mobilnosti omogućeno je bolje razumijevanje studentskog doživljaja mobilnosti – naročito kroz analizu korištenja i percepcije jezika, odnosa prema drugosti i novim identifikacijama koje razvijaju - i kako to iskustvo reinvestiraju u daljnjem životu. Studijom je također utvrđena nužnost postojanja programa podrške odlaznim studentima koji bi se temeljio na didaktici višejezičnosti i višekulturalnosti, a čiji bi cilj bio da boravak u inozemstvu za svakog studenta bude formativno i osnažujuće iskustvo. Radi se međutim o didaktičkom modelu koji tek neznatno prihvaćen, što posljedično dovodi do preispitivanja odgovornosti europskih jezičnih i obrazovnih politika te etičke odgovornosti didaktike jezika i kultura

Annotation:

In this study the guidelines of the League of Nations, UNESCO and the Council of Europe are investigated in relation to Swedish national curricula, teachers’ perceptions of and students’ work in history, from 1927 to 2002. Inspired by John I Goodlad’s notions of curricula and implementation, the formulation of history is studied. The ideological curricula are analyzed via the international guidelines directed to Swedish history teaching. The formal curricula are examined in national guidelines and also how history is formulated in final examinations and inspectors’ reports. The perceived curricula are studied in teachers’ debates and interviews with experienced teachers. The experiential curricula are examined through looking at students’ choices of topics in final exams, 1,680 titles of students’ individual projects in history and an in-depth analysis of 145 individual projects written between 1969 and 2002. The study shows that the means and goals of history education have been formulated in both different and similar ways within and between curricular levels. On all the curricular levels studied the history subject has become more internationally oriented. After World War II national history landed in the background and the world history, favored by UNESCO, became dominant in Sweden from the 1950s onwards. Despite the fact that the Council of Europe’s Euro-centrism became more prominent in the 1994 syllabus in history, students still preferred world history over European history. International and national guidelines also stressed the value of paying heed to marginalized groups, local cultural heritage and contemporary history. These orientations were also represented in the teachers’ views of history teaching and in the students’ work in history. The results of the study suggest that the implementation of the international guidelines were more than a top-down process. During the entire period studied, guidelines have been formulated and transacted, but also reinterpreted and in some cases, ignored. Teachers and students seem to have been co-creators in the transformation of history education. History as a subject, according to the study, encompassed an ever expanding geographical area and more and more perspectives. Not least on the student level, the subject was formulated and dealt with in manifold ways, often oriented towards contemporary world history. Students’ history had great similarities with the international notion of history education in the service of mankind. Students expressed a rejection of war, an understanding of minorities and a wish to safeguard the local cultural heritage. Even if there were exceptions, students’ history appears to have been influenced by international understanding during a century filled with conflicts.

Annotation:

This case study, of veterinary education at Glasgow between 1949 and 2006, was undertaken to provide an illustrative account of learning and teaching practices over time. Ultimately the aim was to inform discussions on curriculum reshaping in undergraduate veterinary education at Glasgow. A questionnaire was distributed to 2360 alumni, 513 students and 50 teachers, to obtain quantitative data on the availability and perceived usefulness of different educational methods and technologies, analysed using SPSS. Qualitative data were sought principally through ten student focus groups and interviews with over thirty current and former staff, theoretically coded using NVivo. Questionnaire responses (from 11.5% of alumni, 23.8% of students and 72% of teachers invited to participate) revealed that lectures, printed notes, tutorials, practical classes and clinical training were used consistently over time and rated highly by stakeholders, confirming the importance of didactic teaching methods coupled with discussion and practical hands-on experience. The focus groups with students highlighted their strong desire for earlier clinical training, with the recognition that a case-based approach resulted in more meaningful learning. The interviews with staff revealed that whilst all staff welcomed the opportunity for increased vertical integration, problem-based learning was rejected as a wholesale solution. Highlights of the school’s curricular innovations to date include the clinico-pathological integrated sessions, the lecture-free final year, and the introduction of a veterinary biomolecular sciences course that allowed for a seamless vertical integration in years 1 to 4. However, recent efforts to implement self-directed learning and assessment strategies have been hampered by the fact that these were isolated innovations set within a traditional teacher-centred paradigm. There was little support among stakeholders for undergraduate specialisation. There is still a perceived need for veterinarians to have omni-potential – if not to be omnicompetent. However, it is recommended that the current system of tracking be replaced with a more streamlined core-elective system, to allow students to pursue specific topics of interest in the later years of the course. Teachers and students cited attributes of ‘good’ teachers. These generally did not change over time, although technologies did change. Good communication appears to be central to good teaching, with an in-borne desire to enthuse and motivate students to learn for the pleasure of learning rather than the need to hurdle-jump examinations. Both teachers and students cited good teaching characteristics in terms of the teacher as authority and motivator, rather than as a facilitator of independent learning, reflecting the nature of the traditional, didactic course. There was little evidence of pedagogical change resulting from technological innovations. If anything, newer technologies compounded surface learning approaches and low level cognitive processing, rather than promoting deep learning and higher order thinking skills. Identified barriers to teaching innovations included lack of time, reward and support (for teachers and students). Future curricular innovation will require a substantial investment in the scholarship of teaching – rewarding staff for excellence in teaching, putting it on a par with research excellence, and ensuring the necessary support mechanisms and infrastructure are in place to ensure the success of a self-directed learning curriculum. A guided discovery learning curriculum is recommended, a compromise between traditional teaching and a fully problem-based curriculum. The study did not specifically focus on assessment, but it is recommended that learning, teaching and assessment practices should be constructively aligned.

Cette thèse est consacrée à la sociologie historique d’un domaine scientifique : l’histoire de l’Europe. A travers une étude des projets collectifs relatifs à l’écriture ou à l’enseignement de cette histoire impliquant des historiens ou des experts de l’enseignement secondaire de l’histoire français et/ou allemands, elle montre l’importance de leurs interactions avec les institutions promouvant l’histoire européenne. De 1976 à la fin des années 1980, un petit nombre d’historiens fondent un domaine de recherche, l’histoire de l’intégration communautaire, en coopération avec la Commission Européenne. De la fin des années 1980 à la fin des années 1990, nombre d’historiens et d’acteurs politiques,scientifiques et économiques s’entendent autour d’une ambition : repenser l’histoire et son enseignement pour fonder une identité européenne. Mais à partir de 2000, cette ambition se délite et les coopérations reposant sur celle-ci cèdent la place à des financements institutionnalisés
This thesis is dedicated to the historical sociology of “European history” as a scientific field. Through the study of the collective projects relating to the writing or the teaching of such a history which involve historians or experts in history teaching from France, Germany or both countries, it shows how important are their interactions with the institutions promoting European history. In cooperation with the European Commission, a few historians found a research field, the history of the European integration, between 1976 and the end of the eighties. Many historians and political, scientific and economic actors agree between the end of the eighties and the end of the nineties about the ambition of rethinking history and its teaching in order to found a European identity. However, this ambition started to fade out in 2000 and cooperations based on it backed down in favour of institutionalised funding

Si l’École est souvent analysée comme la courroie de transmission des valeurs de la République, ses programmes sont souvent critiqués à l’aune de ce fameux « roman » ou « récit » national, parfois même qualifié de « mythe ». Héros, événements spectaculaires, moments fondateurs, sont autant de scansions des programmes d’Histoire dans le secondaire, qui rythment les chronologies des manuels scolaires et les progressions des enseignants. La grande question étant toujours de savoir : que doivent retenir nos élèves pour se sentir appartenir à cette République et nation françaises ? Dans son Histoire, faite de guerres et de déchirements, la France et ses voisines ont toutefois fait le choix de la paix. La construction européenne en est la fille, une fille qui aujourd’hui s’émancipe et cherche à obtenir un rôle de choix à l’Ecole. Ce travail de recherche propose l’examen de ces nouveaux rapports, non de force mais détournés, entre la France, ses programmes d’Histoire et de géographie face à cette intégration européenne sans cesse plus présente dans le domaine de l’éducation, pourtant grand intouchable de l’identité nationale. En particulier, cette thèse aura pour but de traiter les prises de décisions européennes et leurs effets dans les programmes d’Histoire et de Géographie français ainsi que dans les manuels soumis à l’attention et à l’intention non seulement des élèves mais également des enseignants qui en sont les plus grands utilisateurs
In France, the History school programs are often criticized because of the “national narrative” it creates. Sometimes, it might also be called “a myth”. National heroes, spectacular events, founding moments and fathers punctuate the high school programs. And the question remains : what is essential for the pupils to remember to develop and forge a sense of belonging to the nation ? Within its History, France and its neighbors went into wars and peace. The European construction is part of that history that the French school is writing nowadays. This research tries to understand how History and Geography school programs are interacting with the European Education regarding the field of education. This thesis aims at analyzing the European policymaking and their impacts on the school programs, and more precisely in the schoolbooks

O objeto de investigação desta dissertação é o Quadro Comum Europeu (Common European Framework of Reference) e seus níveis de proficiência em línguas estrangeiras. O Quadro ou CEFR começou a ser desenvolvido pelos quase 50 paísesmembros do Conselho Europeu em 1991. As matrizes de referência do CEFR tornaram-se um marco internacional e oferecem atualmente orientações para a formulação de políticas linguísticas para o ensino, aprendizagem e avaliação em cerca de 30 línguas europeias, incluindo o inglês. Apesar de o CEFR também ser usado no Brasil em cursos preparatórios para testes internacionais e em vários tipos de processos seletivos, pouco se sabe sobre ele e a literatura sobre o assunto em português ainda é escassa. O objetivo geral deste estudo é investigar quais teorias de linguagem foram usadas na elaboração do CEFR. O objetivo específico é analisar as concepções de língua/linguagem, ensino e aprendizagem, sujeito e avaliação do CEFR para entender como os seus níveis de proficiência foram determinados. Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, foram reunidas e organizadas diversas publicações do Conselho Europeu, de suas instituições parceiras e de pesquisadores independentes, para investigar as questões propostas nesta dissertação. Ao final, foi possível estabelecer a evolução histórica das bases teóricas do CEFR, com origem na Virada Linguística, passando pela Escola da Filosofia da Linguagem e pelas disciplinas da Sociolinguística e da Pragmática. As diferentes concepções, com destaque para a concepção de língua/linguagem no CEFR, também foram devidamente analisadas. Finalmente, foi possível compreender com mais profundidade como os referidos níveis de proficiência foram determinados.
The object of research of this thesis is the Common European Framework (CEFR) and its levels of proficiency in foreign languages. The development of the CEFR by nearly 50 member countries of the European Council started in 1991. The CEFR reference scales have become an international landmark and currently provide guidelines for the formulation of language policies for teaching, learning and assessment in about 30 European languages, including English. Although the CEFR is also used in Brazil in preparatory programs and in different types of selection processes, little is known about it and the literature on the subject in Portuguese is still scarce. The general aim of this study is to investigate which language theories were used in preparing the CEFR. Our specific aim is to analyze the concepts of language, teaching, learning, self and assessment in the CEFR to understand how its proficiency levels were determined. By means of a bibliographical research, several publications of the European Council, partner institutions and independent researchers were gathered and organized to investigate the questions proposed in this research. In the end, it was possible to establish the historical evolution of the theoretical basis of the CEFR, its origins in the Linguistic Turn, with later developments from the School of Philosophy of Language and the disciplines of Sociolinguistics and Pragmatics. The different concepts, especially the concept of language in the CEFR, were also duly considered. Finally, it was possible to understand more clearly how the said proficiency levels were determined.

Annotation:

Background: In a context of belt-tightening policy and of increasing competition between universities in France and in Germany, universities and therefore professors are required to increase their efficiency and to provide evidence of it. Performance measurement systems are assumed to increase transparency and incentives within the university sector.

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze to which extent performance measurement of professors at one French and one German university is relevant and how this performance can be measured. The study is conducted at the business school l’IECS Ecole de Management de Strasbourg (France) and within the Faculty of Business & Economics at the Europa-Universität Viadrina in Frankfurt an der Oder (Germany).

Method: Performance measurement is considered through the study and the comparison of two universities. Based on a theoretical framework including theories from the private sector, the public sector and the university sector, several in-depth interviews are conducted to collect facts and opinions from both professors and administrators and from both the IECS and the Viadrina.

Conclusion: This study assesses the relevance of the measurement performance of professors at the IECS and the Viadrina. It provides also the main areas where professors’ performance should be measured and the main methods to measure this performance. Lastly the thesis raises several issues linked to performance measurement such as the organizational culture of universities, the utilisation of performance measurement system information and the impacts of performance measurement.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: We know very little about women who studied and excelled in the field of Semitic languages in the seventeenth century - it is an unknown territory, terra incognita. In this thesis I will map Anna Maria van Schurman's (1607-1678) studies in Semitic languages. Of the fourteen languages she knew, seven were Semitic or Near-Eastern languages: Hebrew (Rabbinic Hebrew included), Aramaic, Syriac, Samaritan, Arabic, Persian or Ethiopian. The thesis commences with a brief discussion of her life (including some new material), followed by an overview of the knowledge about Semitic languages that prevailed in the seventeenth century, which at the time underwent a surge of growth. Thereafter the discussion will focus on Van Schurman's mentor, Voetius, and his knowledge and views of Semitic languages. It will be based on the Sermoen (lecture) delivered at the opening of the University of Utrecht in 1636. His library, which Van Schurman used, also appears to be an invaluable source, full of reference books for the study of 'orientaelsche' languages. In order to determine the standard of Van Schurman's work, it was useful to read first what her contemporaries wrote about her, as well as what she wrote in her various works, including her autobiographies, about Semitic languages. Adfontes did I research what has been preserved in these seven languages: letters in Hebrew, a poem, many references - in particular in Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac and Arabic - in her works such as the Dissertatio, the Opuscula Hebraea Graeca Latina et Gallica, unpublished letters and the texts she wrote in alba amicorum and on polyglottal artworks in Hebrew, Rabbinic Hebrew, Syriac, Aramaic, Arabic, Samaritan and Ethiopian. Her letters in Hebrew (and some letters to her) have only now been translated for the first time. From these it seems that she had, in contrast to her work in Latin, Greek, Dutch and French, such a religious regard for Hebrew that she wrote these letters as a collage of Biblical texts. It was, however, also an intellectual game. Van Schurman designed a grammar for Ethiopian, an outstanding achievement in the erudite Netherlands. Although it is thought to be lost, it is nevertheless possible to ascertain, by means of reports and poems by her contemporaries, what constituted this grammar. Lastly, Van Schurman's oeuvre is compared to that of the men and women of the educated community in Europe (Res Publica Litterarum ) who were also involved in the study of 'orientaelsche' languages. She was a source of inspiration for several women, such as Marie du Moulin, who also studied Hebrew and corresponded with Van Schurman in Hebrew. Anna Maria Van Schurman can rightfully be called the only female christian hebraist who could hold her own in the company of her male counterparts, despite the fact that, as a woman, she did not have the same opportunities as they had. She even exceeds them in her knowledge of Ethiopian. With regard to other women, she undoubtedly stood head and shoulders above them, and deserves to be known as the "Babel of her time".
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ons weet byna niks van wat vroue in die sewentiende eeu op die gebied van die Oud- Oosterse tale gepresteer het nie, dis 'n onbekende terrein, 'n terra incognita. In hierdie tesis word Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-1678) se studies in Oud-Oosterse tale gekarteer. Van die veertien tale wat sy geken het, was sewe Oud-Oosterse tale: Hebreeus (Rabbyns-Hebreeus ingesluit), Aramees, Siries, Samaritaans, Arabies, Persies en Ethiopies. Ek bespreek eers kortliks haar lewe (met heelwat nuwe materiaal), gee dan 'n oorsig van die 17de-eeuse kennis van hierdie tale wat toe 'n groot bloeitydperk beleef het. Dan bespreek ek haar leermeester Voetius se kennis van Oud-Oosterse tale. Dit word gedoen aan die hand van die Sermoen wat hy by die opening van die Utrechtse Universiteit in 1636 gehou het. Sy biblioteek wat sy ook ter insae gehad het, blyk 'n skatkamer van naslaanwerke vir die studie van 'orientaelsche' tale te wees. Om die standaard van Van Schurman te bepaal, het ek eers gekyk na wat tydgenote oor haar geskrywe het en wat sy self in haar werk, onder andere in haar outobiografie, oor Oud-Oosterse tale geskryf het. Ad fontes het ek ondersoek wat daar van haar in die sewe tale oorgelewer is: briewe in Hebreeus, 'n gedig, die verwysings in veral Hebreeus, Aramees, Siries en Arabies in haar werke soos die Dissertatio, die Opuscula Hebraea Graeca Latina et Gallica, ongepubliseerde briewe, en die tekste wat sy in alba amicorum en op polyglotte kunswerkies geskrywe het in Hebreeus, Rabbyns- Hebreeus, Siries, Aramees, Arabies, Samaritaans en Ethiopies. Haar briewe in Hebreeus (en sommige aan haar) is nou vir die eerste keer vertaal. Uit die briewe blyk dat sy, in teenstelling tot haar werk in Latyn, Grieks, Nederlands en Frans, so 'n heilige ontsag vir Hebreeus gehad het dat sy die briewe geskrywe het as 'n collage van Bybeltekste. Maar dit was ook 'n intellektuele speletjie. Van Schurman ontwerp 'n grammatika vir Ethiopies, 'n topprestasie in geleerde Nederland. Hoewel dit nou verlore is, kan mens tog aan die hand van verslae en gedigte van tydgenote 'n beeld kry van wat haar grammatika behels het. Ten slotte vergelyk ek haar met die manne en vroue in die Europese akademiese gemeenskap, die Republiek van Lettere, wat ook in die veld van 'orientaelsche' tale besig was. Vir 'n aantal vroue soos Marie du Moulin was Van Schurman 'n bron van inspirasie. Sy het ook Hebreeus bestudeer en met Van Schurman gekorrespondeer in Hebreeus. Van Schurman kan met reg die enigste vroulike Christelike Hebraïs genoemd word wat met manlike geleerdes op gelyke voet kon verkeer, al het sy deur haar posisie as vrou nie dieselfde geleenthede gehad nie. Tog steek sy met haar kennis van Ethiopies hulle na die kroon. Wat betref die vroue: sy het kop en skouers bo haar vroulike tydgenote uitgestaan en word met reg die Babel van haar tyd genoem.
NEDERLANDSE OPSOMMING: We weten vrijwel niets wat vrouwen in de zeventiende eeuw op het gebied van oudoosterse talen presteerden, het is een onbekend land, een terra incognita. In deze thesis breng ik de studies in oud-oosterse of semitische talen van Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-1678) in kaart. Van de veertien talen die ze kende, waren er zeven oud-oosters of 'orientaelsch": Hebreeuws (Rabbijns-Hebreeuws ingesloten), Aramees, Syrisch, Samaritaans, Arabisch, Perzisch en Ethiopisch. Ik bespreek eerst kort haar leven (op grond van veel nieuw materiaal), geef dan een overzicht van de kennis van oud-oosterse talen in de zeventiende eeuw die toen een grote bloei doormaakte. Dan bespreek ik de kennis van en de visie op oud-oosterse talen van haar leermeester Voetius aan de hand van het Sermoen dat hij hield bij de opening van de Utrechtse Universiteit in 1636. Zijn bibliotheek die zij ook gebruikte bleek een schatkamer aan standaardwerken voor de studie van 'orientaelsche ' talen. Om het niveau van Van Schurman te bepalen, inventariseerde ik eerst wat tijdgenoten over haar schreven en wat ze zelf in haar werk, onder andere in haar autobiografie, over oud-oosterse talen schreef Ad fontes onderzocht ik naar wat er van haar in die zeven talen is overgeleverd: Hebreeuwse brieven en een gedicht, de vele verwijzingen in vooral het Hebreeuws, Aramees, Syrisch, Arabisch in haar werken als de Dissertatio, de Opuscula Hebraea Graeca Latina et Gallica, en ongepubliceerde brieven plus de teksten die ze in alba amicorum en op haar polyglotte kunstwerkjes schreef in het Hebreeuws, Rabbijns-Hebreeuws, Syrisch, Aramees, Arabisch, Samaritaans en Ethiopisch. Haar brieven in het Hebreeuws van (en sommige aan haar) zijn nu voor het eerst vertaald. Uit die brieven blijkt dat ze, in tegenstelling tot haar werk in het Latijn, Grieks, Nederlands en Frans, zo'n heilige opvatting heeft van het Hebreeuws dat ze die brieven schrijft als een collage van bijbelteksten. Maar het was ook een intellectueel spel. Ze ontwierp een grammatica voor het Ethiopisch, een topprestatie in geleerd Nederland. Ook al is deze nu onvindbaar, toch was het mogelijk om aan de hand van verslagen en gedichten van tijdgenoten een beeld te krijgen van wat haar grammatica behelsde. Tenslotte vergeleek ik haar met de mannen en vrouwen in de Europese geleerdengemeenschap, de Republiek der Letteren die ook in het veld van de orientaelsche' talen bezig waren. Voor een aantal vrouwen zoals Marie du Moulin was Van Schurman een inspiratiebron. Zij ging ook Hebreeuws studeren en correspondeerde met Van Schurman in het Hebreeuws. Van Schurman kan met recht de enige christelijke hebraïste in Europa genoemd worden die met de mannelijke geleerden op gelijke voet verkeerde, al had ze door haar positie als vrouw niet dezelfde mogelijkheden. Toch stak ze hen door haar kennis van het Ethiopisch naar de kroon. Wat betreft de vrouwen: ze stak er met kop en schouders boven uit, ze werd terecht het Babel van haar tijd genoemd.

Annotation:

The CEFR French profiles have been widely used to teach and evaluate language instruction over the past decade. The profiles were specifications of vocabulary that have been largely untested from a corpus-based, empirical perspective. The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate the CEFR profiles by comparing their content with two sizable contemporary corpora. This study quantified and described the vocabulary overlap and uniqueness across all three of these resources. Four areas of overlap and three areas of uniqueness were analyzed and identified. Slightly over 40% of the lexical content was common to the three resources studied. Additionally, 16.3% was unique to the CEFR. The remaining CEFR content overlapped with one or the other of the two corpora used for the evaluation. The findings led to the general recommendation of keeping about 60% of the current CEFR content and adding a little over 19,000 vocabulary items to the overhauled CEFR profiles.

Annotation:

Code switching involves the interplay of two languages and as well as serving linguistic functions, it has social and psychological implications. In the context of English language teaching, these psychological implications reveal themselves as teachers’ thought processes. While the nature of code switching in language classrooms has been widely studies, as yet little if any attention has been paid to the relationship between such switching and the beliefs of the teachers involved. This study is designed to respond this gap in current research. In the study, I worked with five student teachers undertaking their teaching practicum at a private school in Turkey, aiming to investigate their thinking in relation to code switching in their classrooms by using the analysis of classroom interactions, individual interviews and stimulated recall interviews. The first step of the research involved video recording lessons taught by the five student teachers within the framework of their university Teaching Practice course. This was followed by individual interviews with the student teachers focusing on their views of code switching during their teaching experience and their general views about language teaching. The last stage involved stimulated recall interviews with the student teachers based on selected extracts from their lessons chosen after an analysis of spoken interaction in their classes. The data were then analysed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that code switching is more than merely a linguistic matter; it is also indicative of a number of other dimensions including how teachers define themselves professionally, teacher beliefs, teacher identity, affective factors influencing teachers, and their relationships with supervisors. This study suggests that code switching could usefully be included as a topic in teacher education programmes and in supervisor/mentor training.

Les conceptions traditionnelles de l’État sont amenées à se transformer sous les pressions du processus d’intégration européenne. Cette thèse propose de le vérifier par une analyse herméneutique comparée des manuels scolaires d’Histoire et de Géographie édités au cours des cinquante dernières années et destinés aux élèves de l’enseignement général secondaire supérieur en France, en Angleterre, au Bade-Wurtemberg, en Catalogne, en Communauté française de Belgique et en Finlande. Ces disciplines jouent un rôle particulier dans la mesure où les savoirs mobilisés participent à la construction et au maintien des mécanismes d’identifications collectives. Les manuels concernés contribuent à définir et circonscrire un « nous » et organisent les connaissances autour de cet axe. De nos jours, ce « nous » correspond encore largement aux communautés nationales ou qui ont vocation à le devenir. Cette étude se focalise essentiellement sur le concept de l’État, curseur privilégié de la compréhension de la vie politique. Comment celui-ci est-il appréhendé dans ces ouvrages et dans quelle mesure le processus d’intégration européenne provoque-t-il une inflexion des conceptions initiales? L’État apparaît comme un concept important dans les manuels scolaires et constitue le cadre à partir duquel s’interprète l’histoire. Mais s’il est abondamment mentionné, il est peu rigoureusement défini et son interprétation passe nécessairement par la compréhension des rapports centre/périphérie qui structurent chaque pays. À ce stade, l’introduction de l’Union européenne se montre partout très timide et son approche se lit largement à travers le prisme des spécificités nationales persistantes
Traditional concepts of the state are changing under the pressure of Europeanization. This dissertation seeks to verify this thesis through a comparative hermeneutic analysis of history and geography textbooks used over the past fifty years in the upper secondary schools of France, England, Baden-Württemberg, Catalonia, Finland, and the French Community of Belgium. These disciplines play a key role, since the knowledge they convey contributes to building and maintaining a sense of collective identity. Textbooks help define who “we” are, and organize knowledge around this axis. In our time, this “we” still corresponds largely to existing or potential national communities.This study focuses largely on the concept of the state as the central indicator for the understanding of political life. How has this concept been understood and presented in textbooks, and to what extent has the process of European Integration led to a change in emphasis? The state remains an important concept in textbooks, and remains the framework within history is interpreted. While it is frequently mentioned, however, it is not rigorously defined, and the interpretation of the state is influenced by centre-periphery relations, as these are found in each country. At this stage, the introduction of the European Union is generally very limited and is approached largely through the lens of persistent national specificity

Abstract The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a tool, developed by the European Commission, which has been used as a base in the development of curricular documents in many countries. This would suggest a high level of similarity between the language teachings in different European countries, but how similar are they really? The aim of this thesis is to make a comparison between the general approach to foreign language teaching in two European countries, Spain and Sweden. It is important to note that the purpose has only been to find out what differences and similarities can be found between the two countries and not to make any kind of judgement as to what English teaching is preferable. A design consisting of two methods has been used to carry out the investigation: text analysis and in-depth interviews. The analysed texts are the English syllabus for upper secondary school in Sweden and the syllabus for the first foreign language in the Spanish upper secondary school. As a complement to the text analysis, interviews have been made with two English teachers from each country. The results that were found show that the two syllabi are similar in the way that both have been inspired by the CEFR and both promote Communicative Language Teaching. However, they also show several rather striking differences. The Spanish syllabus appears, for example, to focus much more on grammatical and phonetic knowledge than the Swedish one does. The results of the interviews, which cannot be generalized, indicate that the two English teachers in Sweden look for guidance in the syllabus and other official documents, while their Spanish colleagues prefer to turn to the textbooks, since they trust that the editors have made sure they follow the official regulations. This study shows that there are many differences between the language teaching in Spain and Sweden, despite the fact that both syllabi relate to the CEFR.

Annotation:

This study highlights three main concerns in relation to history teaching in Turkish secondary schools. The first one investigates student and practising history teachers' and history teacher educators' views on the existing Turkish secondary school history curriculum and its implementation. The second concern is to explore the perspectives of the same population about Europe and the European dimension in history teaching. The last one deals with their suggestions on the improvement of the history curriculum with the potential inclusion of the European dimension. These issues are considered important, because the recent political developments accelerating the process of Turkey's integration into Europe indicated the necessity for preparing the Turkish public for this purpose. History teaching in schools is one of the channels to prepare Turkish youth to take a part in Europe through developing their perspectives and abilities. The methodological design of the study embraces both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Questionnaires were completed by student teachers, practising teachers and teacher educators from various secondary schools and three universities in Turkey. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with a small number of participants selected from the above three groups. The data are analysed to find out the participants' general views about the issues mentioned above as well as the similarities and differences amongst the views of the three participating groups and between student teacher and teacher educator participants from the three universities. The results of the study show that most of the participants are critical of the existing curriculum and the current practice of history teaching. Their criticism focuses on the presentation of the aims and objectives of the curriculum, the selection of curriculum content and pedagogical problems. According to the research findings, the presentation of Europe and European history in the current curriculum is inadequate. Furthermore, the participants' disclosed varying views about European matters, but their positive views about Europe related issues and a potential inclusion of the ED in history teaching observed were encouraging. Based on the suggestions of the participants, it is argued that the Turkish secondary school history curriculum needs to be improved by including a European dimension. Specifically, the aims and objectives of history teaching, the criteria for the selection of curriculum content, pedagogy and history teacher education programmes should be shifted from the existing traditional approach to the new critical and skill-based approaches. In other words, this study argues that the purpose of history teaching is not to develop a particular identity or citizenship consciousness through the transmission of predetermined content knowledge. Instead, it suggests that history should be taught to enable learners to develop historical and critical thinking skills through exercising and utilising the methodology of history, which help them orientate themselves in local, national, European and global contexts.

The following dissertation aims to scrutinize amongst other things, some English teachers’ beliefs and thoughts concerning communicative language teaching at two schools in Sweden and France. Since the steering documents of both countries clearly promote a communicative approach to language teaching, we wanted to see how it could be applied in these two different contexts as well as how it was interpreted by some teachers. With the information obtained from qualitative interviews and classroom observations, we juxtapose what the teachers have said with the steering documents for both countries, their implementations of CLT and the teaching methods adopted in general. In order to do this, an analysis and comparison of the two syllabuses for English was necessary and we also needed to set a foundation by discussing the theories and possible complexities of CLT and teacher beliefs. This discussion could not be valid without also taking into account the status and influences of the English language in Sweden and France.The analysis of the two steering documents showed similar ideas about language teaching. However, Sweden has a separate syllabus for English, whilst France has a joint one for foreign languages. Furthermore, from our interviews and classroom observations we found that all teachers taught grammar in their native language. We also found the French school to be more traditional in that the lessons were often teacher-centered and that the teachers did not allow for any errors in the spoken language. The difference in discipline between the schools was another finding which we found surprising. Finally, our results also indicate occasional discordance between the teachers’ thoughts and ideals and their actions in the classroom.

Monografia apresentada à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciada em Medicina Dentária
O objecto deste trabalho é aferir as competências em Endodontia percepcionadas pelos finalistas em Medicina Dentária (MDA) e pelos Médicos Dentistas (MD) licenciados na Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde (FCS) da Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP). Este estudo, transversal, observacional e descritivo, pretende analisar as diferentes opções e conhecimentos na área da Endodontia, comparando-as com os conhecimentos adquiridos durante a licenciatura em MDA, fazendo uma abordagem ao ensino ministrado nesta área e ao facto de considerar a Endodontia uma área da MDA de suma importância foi, para mim, considerada uma mais-valia, em termos futuros, na melhoria da aquisição de conhecimentos. O objectivo deste trabalho é recolher informação sobre a experiência, material e métodos empregues no tratamento endodôntico (TE) por Médicos Dentistas licenciados na UFP e alunos finalistas de Medicina Dentária da UFP pretendendo melhorar aspectos relacionados com o ensino da Endodontia na FCS-UFP. Este trabalho está dividido em duas partes: revisão bibliográfica e investigação científica. A revisão bibliográfica do tema engloba o ensino graduado em MDA, o ensino de Endodontia, os desafios, as perspectivas e as novas tecnologias, as Guidelines para o TE (a história, o diagnóstico e o plano de tratamento, os registos, o controlo da infecção e as técnicas), as Guidelines para o Curriculum da Licenciatura em MDA (a estrutura, a experiência clínica, a avaliação, o tratamento endodôntico não cirúrgico e a endodontia cirúrgica) e a docência de Endodontia na UFP. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi efectuada em publicações (investigações, artigos de opinião e de revisão da literatura) relacionadas com o ensino graduado em MDA. O trabalho de investigação consistiu na realização de questionários com 15 questões a alunos finalistas de Medicina Dentária da FCS-UFP realizados nos meses de Março de 2008 e Março de 2009 e questionários com 16 questões a licenciados em Medicina Dentária pela FCS-UFP realizados de Março de 2008 a Março de 2009. A amostra em estudo contou com 276 questionários preenchidos e devolvidos, divididos em dois grupos: 131 questionários de licenciados em Medicina Dentária pela FCS-UFP e 145 questionários de alunos finalistas em Medicina Dentária pela FCS-UFP. Resultados: 45,8% dos MD inquiridos utiliza dique de borracha no isolamento absoluto, mas somente 16% o utiliza sempre. 69,7% dos discentes inquiridos, pretende vir a usar o dique de borracha. Assinala-se que 51,9% dos MD utilizam instrumentos manuais e mecanizados na instrumentação canalar, sendo a percentagem de discentes a pretender utilizá-los, de 65,5%. O Crown-down e Step-back (protocolo da UFP) é a técnica mais utilizada (63,4%) entre os profissionais inquiridos, sendo também esta a técnica que os alunos pretendem vir a utilizar (95,9%). A técnica de obturação mais utilizada pelos profissionais (48,9%) foi a de termocompactação ou outras técnicas termoplásticas, sendo também a opção dos discentes inquiridos (79,3%). A restaurabilidade do dente (82,4%) e o grau de dificuldade e risco (74%) foram considerados como os aspectos mais relevantes na abordagem de um caso endodôntico pelos MD inquiridos obtendo-se para os mesmos parâmetros, respectivamente, as percentagens de 92,4% e 80% pelos alunos finalistas. Os MD inquiridos (54,2%) e os alunos finalistas (54,5%) consideram os seus TE bons. Conclui-se que a maioria da população de MD e de discentes inquiridos parecem seguir as Guidelines estabelecidas na literatura e ensinadas na FCS-UFP, quer no que concerne aos métodos, como no que diz respeito aos materiais utilizados para a realização de TE. Verifica-se, no entanto, que em alguns aspectos dos anteriormente referidos, os profissionais inquiridos não seguem o protocolo em Endodontia recomendado, o que constitui um factor condicionante do sucesso deste tipo de tratamento. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the theoretical and practical ability in Endodontology, felt by the undergraduate student in the graduation in Dental Medicine (DM) of the College of Sciences of Health (FCS) of Universidade Fernando Pessoa (UFP) and by Dentists (D) graduated in the FCS-UFP. This study, observational, transversal and descriptive, aims to analyse the different options and knowledge in the area of the Endodontology, being compared them with the knowledge acquired during the graduation in DM, making a bording to the education given in the area of the Endodontology face to the gotten results. Face to the little publication of studies in this area and to the fact to consider the Endodontology an area of the DM of utmost importance was, for me, considered a more-value, in future terms, the improvement of the acquisition of knowledge. The aim of this study was to collect information on the experience, material and methods employed in the endodontic treatment (ET) for D graduated in the UFP and undergraduate students of DM of the UFP intending to improve aspects related with the education of the Endodontology in FCS-UFP. This study is divided in two parts: bibliographical review and scientific research. The bibliographical review includes the graduated education in DM, the education of Endodontology, the challenges, the perspectives and the new technologies, Guidelines for ET (history, the diagnosis and the plan of treatment, the registers, the control of the infection and the techniques), Guidelines for Curriculum of the graduation in DM (the structure, the clinical experience, the evaluation, not surgical ET and the surgical Endodontology) and the teaching staff of Endodontology in the UFP. The bibliographical research was done in publications (inquiries, opinion articles and revision of literature) related with the graduated education in DM. The inquiry study consisted of questionnaires with 15 questions to the undergraduate students of DM of the FCS-UFP carried through in the months of March of 2008 and March 2009 and questionnaires with 16 questions to the graduated ones in DM carried through FCS-UFP, of March of 2008 to March of 2009. The sample in study counted on 276 filled and returned questionnaires, divided in two groups: 131 questionnaires of D in DM for the FCS-UFP and 145 questionnaires of undergraduate students in DM for the FC-UFP. Of the gotten results, 45.8% of the inquired D use rubber dam in the absolute isolation, but 16% only use it always. 69.7% of the inquired students intend to come to use the rubber dam. It is designated that 51.9% of the D use manual and mechanized instruments in the instrumentation of the tooth, being the students percentage to intend to use them, of 65,5%. The Crown-down and Step-back (protocol of the UFP) are the technique of used instrumentation (63.4%) between the inquired professionals, being also this the technique that the students intend to come to use (95.9%). The technique of sealing more used by the profissionals (48.9%) was the thermoplastic gutta-percha technique or the others thermoplastic techniques, being also the opinion of the inquired students (79.3%). The ability to restore the tooth (82.4%) and the degree of difficulty and risk (74%) had been considered as the aspects most excellent in the boarding of a endodontic case for the inquired D getting itself for the same parameters, respectively, the percentages of 92,4% and 80% for the students. The D population (54,2%) and the undergraduate students (54,5%) consider their ET well done. It was concluded that the D population and the undergraduate students seems to follow the guidelines in literature, with respect to the methods, as in what it says respect to the materials used for the accomplishment ET. It is verified, however, that in some aspects of previously related, the inquired professionals do not follow the protocol in Endodontology recommended for literature, constituting, in such a way, factors that condition the success of this type of treatment.

The aim of this study was to gain an insight into how teachers work practically with the Communicative Oriented Curriculum in English and what factors that could influence the teachers’ methodology. The investigation partially replicated a study by Kırkgöz (2008). The study was conducted at three state elementary schools in Turkey by using multidimensional qualitative research procedures, including classroom observations and interviews. Results demonstrated that all participants showed attributes identified to an Eclectic-Oriented teaching approach placing them in the middle of a continuum from Transmission to Interpretation-Oriented teachers. The results were later compared with the original study displaying both a satisfying and unsatisfying outcome depending on a qualitative or quantitative comparison. Findings also indicated that a holistic perspective must be considered in order to interpret and understand the results.

The present study focuses on how the European Language Portfolio (ELP) can be used in a Swedish school. More particularly it aims at exploring how a group of teachers have adapted the use of the material to their particular pedagogical situation. It also aims at finding out what the same group of teachers identifies as the ELP’s strengths and possible weaknesses.For this purpose, a case study was carried out in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with four language teachers at an upper secondary school in the south of Sweden. Although the teachers started out using the official ELP 16+, only the language passport has been kept. The teachers have adapted the rest of the material to their own situation. Three different adaptations were identified and presented. Moreover, the teachers identified a number of areas that they saw as the ELP’s strengths. Among these areas were the material’s compatibility with the Swedish steering documents and the language biography (in adapted versions). When asked about the possible weaknesses, the teachers’ main concerns were the standard checklists and the fact that working with the ELP is time-consuming in different ways.

Annotation:

Since the political climate in the former Soviet bloc has shifted, there is an influx of East Europeans to the United States. As these refugees enter the U.S. educational system in greater numbers, teachers must adapt to the special needs of this population. The intent of this study is to focus on the composing skills of a Polish student who enrolled in an English for Non-Native Residents (ENNR) program at an urban university. The investigation examines the contextual framework that supports the subject's literacy experiences by means of a longitudinal case study format Several ethnographic and experimental techniques are used to explore three areas of interest: cultural context, the learning situation, and the composing processes. Multiple sources of data are used to investigate culture and learning, and a single elicitation technique is applied to the study of the writing process. Study of the cultural context suggests that the subject's early education and literacy experiences in Poland strongly influenced her development as a writer of English. Investigation of the classroom context at the university revealed both her preferences and frustrations with teaching and learning experiences. The primary focus of this study is exploration of writing process by means of a think-aloud protocol. The subject was asked to speak aloud while composing an essay on a narrative topic. She was instructed to say everything that came to mind while writing, and the session was videotaped for later analysis. A coding system was developed to help identify various components of the writing process, such as planning, commenting, rereading and pauses. Writing strategies, repetitions, fillers, revisions, verbal rehearsing, and quantity of words were identified according to frequency and location within the protocol. The results of the protocol analysis suggest that composing is not a neat and tidy process, but a complex configuration of multiple strategies. In the early stages simple patterns such as comments, planning, and fillers help the subject get started. A cycle of patterns, which seem automatic and deeply embedded, occurs throughout. These patterns emerge as Writing-Rehearsing-Pausing events. Each of these categories contains within a multitude of behaviors, such as pausing to think, rereading, and trying out new ideas. The data reveal numerous efforts at surface editing, yet the final product contains an average of 2.8 errors per sentence. The findings suggest that a writer's strategies and goals may shift during a controlled writing situation, and that initial steps may differ from those needed to attain closure. They suggest that attempts at surface revisions may not, in fact, improve the final product.

Annotation:

The Sami people have struggled for centuries to maintain their culture in spite of pressures against it from colonialism. The formal education systems of Norway and Finland have acted in discord with Sami decision-making since their inception. In response to this lack of decision-making power, there is a dynamic internal process at work; Sami people have begun to take control of their own schooling.
This thesis qualitatively examines the processes of curriculum development and implementation for wood handicraft programs at the Sami colleges in Guovdageaidnu, Norway and in Anar, Finland, and details the most significant educational and political factors involved in the transmission and production of indigenous knowledge associated with Sami handicraft. Factors associated with the teaching of Sami handicraft in the form of increasing commercialization, generalization and mechanization in formal duodji education and the stereotyping of Sami cultural imagery pose potential risks to appropriate transfer of Sami cultural knowledge. This thesis will show that the teaching of Sami handicraft (duodji) is an educational and political tool that helps develop and define modern Sami culture. Accordingly, attempts by the Sami colleges to incorporate greater indigenous knowledge have resulted in the implementation of modern indigenous curriculum that promotes cultural knowledge through the teaching of Sami handicraft.

This comparative study between Italy and Australia seeks to find the elements triggering entrepreneurial behaviour in vocational students. In both contexts, students attended class lessons and long periods of work experience. Together with their teachers and work tutor, the students involved in the project took part in weekly Change Laboratory workshops. With the help of mirror materials (interviews, documents, videos of work activity) and the researcher, during the workshops students discussed issues they had at school, work, or at the boundary between the two organizations, and found shared solutions to put into practice. Results suggest that the student’s European key competence of the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship has been improved by combination of school lessons, work placement and Change Laboratory workshops. During workshops students gained a reflexive attitude on how to put into practice the sense of initiative and entrepreneurship in the workplace, thus improving their employability skills and their overall learning experience. Students also enhanced their ability to exercise judgement and make choices.
Questo studio comparativo tra Italia ed Australia cerca di trovare quegli elementi che promouvono comportamenti imprenditoriali in studenti che frequentano istituti tecnici e professionali. In entrambi i contesti, gli studenti hanno preso parte a lezioni in classe e a periodi estesi di stage in azienda; insieme ai loro insegnanti ed ai tutor lavorativi hanno partecipato a sessioni settimanali di Change Laboratory. Attraverso l'aiuto di materiali specchio quali interviste, documenti, video dell'attività lavorativa e la presenza del ricercatore, durante i laboratori gli studenti hanno discusso di problemi che avevano a scuola, a lavoro, o al confine tra le due organizzazioni, trovando soluzione condivise che sono poi state messe in pratica. I risultati ottenuti suggeriscono che la competenza europea relativa al senso di iniziativa e di imprenditorialità sia stata aumentata come combinazione di lezioni, stage e Change Laboratory. Durante i laboratori gli studenti hanno acquisito un'attitudine riflessiva su come mettere in pratica il senso di iniziativa e di imprenditorialità sul posto di lavoro, aumentando così le loro abilità connesse all'occupabilità come pure la complessiva esperienza d'apprendimento. Gli studenti sono avanzati anche nella loro capacità di esercitare giudizio e operare scelte.

This study examines the similarities and differences between the Nordic syllabi (the Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian syllabi) and the influence CEFR has had on their structure and development. This was carried out using the method of hermeneutics, looking for similarities and differences using seven different dimensions of comparison. The study shows that there are similarities between the Nordic syllabi which have all been influenced by the CEFR. The most notable similarity between the documents is the communicative nature of teaching and assessment. This could give a deeper understanding of the Nordic countries' similarities and differences when it comes to language teaching. Further studies are needed using quantitative methods to say if these findings and connections between the Nordic syllabi are due to the influence of the CEFR or if other factors have been just as influential.

Annotation:

Worldwide, an influx of immigration, has increased the heterogeneity of our classrooms. In light of today’s heightened teacher accountability, standards and high-stakes assessment, traditional ways of teaching need to change in order to effectively serve the needs of our culturally and linguistically diverse students. Therefore, a qualitative-interpretive study was conducted with ten science teachers working in six private, international schools based in Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and Belgium with a focus on teacher perceptions, beliefs, teaching practices, and instructional resources used to teach science to English Language Learners (ELLs). Emphasis was placed on the specific teaching modalities and resources that science teachers use to support ELLs in their classrooms. It also addressed the needs of teachers to effectively teach science to ELLs. In response to the research questions, the thematic analysis revealed that the teachers working in these schools had a good awareness of ELL needs in science and wanted to make a difference for these learners. They perceived ELLs as quiet, but hardworking and motivated students. To some degree, the teachers used all seven modalities of teaching: reading, writing, speaking, listening, doing, interpreting, and representing, with or without the use of technology, and considered multimodality to be the most effective way to make science accessible to ELLs. Though not exhaustive, this research offers a set of pedagogical tools and resources for pre-service and in-service teachers to meet the needs of their ELLs in science. Furthermore, based on the teacher responses, the research identifies five key areas which are necessary for science literacy development of culturally and linguistically diverse students. These include: (i) teachers’ positive mindset and awareness towards ELLs in science; (ii) school leadership and administrative support for ELLs; (iii) time, multimodality, and specialized professional development (PD) to scaffold science for ELLs; (iv) the provision of realistic opportunities to collaborate with the ELL or English Language Development (ELD) teacher; and (v) co-teaching science with an ELL/ELD teacher. I would hereby like to share the findings of this thesis and make these accessible to fellow science teachers in the hope that they will refer and/or utilize the proposed strategies and resources in their daily practice.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

This research explores the availability and potential educational uses of different forms of poetry that can be read using a postcolonial approach. The focus is on contemporary France and Spain, two contexts where people with different cultural heritages coexist and need to negotiate cultural imbalances inherited from colonial and neo-colonial domination. This research highlights poetry’s overlooked suitability to engage young people in the expression of cultural difference in a progressively globalized world where cultivating cross-cultural understanding and tolerance needs to be at the top of our agendas. For this reason, the dissertation includes an analysis of poems (currently available for young people) aiming to foreground the possibilities of a postcolonial reading. I also studied similarities and divergences between the French and Spanish scenarios based on evidence gathered during a survey of the Spanish and French fields of poetry for young people and from interviews with informed agents. The survey of the field consists of the exploration of textbooks and anthologies but also the examination of poetry circulating through on-line channels. The interviews were undertaken with selected French and Spanish representatives of people currently involved in the production and dissemination of poetry for young people. I observed that the number of poems showing connections to a postcolonial legacy was scant in the French school material and even more in the Spanish books that I examined. I also confirmed that little attention was given to oral ways to deliver poetry especially showing little regard for the oral literary practices and traditions of non-European French and Spanish speaking communities. The Spanish lack of attention to these traditions is more salient. This contrasts with observations about non-school contexts. Spanish and French young people can nowadays easily engage with varied cultural traditions in poetry which circulate in poetry events and social media. Interviewees confirmed these observations but also raised issues about Spanish and French poetry education that need to be dealt with so as to improve school attention to mixed cultural heritages in poetry. The main contribution to knowledge of this thesis consists in identifying the underused and unexplored educational potential of French and Spanish poetry currently available for young people that can be fruitfully approached using postcolonial lenses. The evaluation of the information gathered in this research reveals that dominant French and Spanish approaches to poetry and limited poetry repertoires hinder the visibility of some contemporary forms of poetry and restrain the effectiveness of some poetry already present in mainstream poetry corpora. However, the comparison of scenarios shows that France offers more accessible and relevant ‘places of enunciation ’ than Spain does for poets to address young people. For instance, comparing contexts, French young people have easier access and more support than Spanish youth to engage with poets’ expressions of being culturally displaced.
